How to Play an ISO as an XBE on a PC

Joseph MarsUpdated April 17, 2017

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) files can be played as games on your computer with the proper software, such as a video player that can play .ISO files. Xbox Executable (XBE) files can be played as Xbox games when opened on your computer with an Xbox game-playing program. Converting your .ISO files into .XBE files so you can play the .ISO file as an Xbox game on your Personal Computer (PC) requires downloaded conversion software and an Xbox emulator.

Open your web browser. Find an ISO-to-XBE converter, such as "C-Xbox Tool," "ADR Patcher" or "Craxtion" at Tacoban, 4shared or XBoxISOZone (see Resources). Download it to your computer's desktop.

Open your ISO-to-XBE converter, such as "CXbox Tool v2.0.6," by double-clicking its ".exe" file on your desktop with your mouse. Click the "XBE-Patch" button with your mouse under your "CXBox Tool v2.0.6" window. Consult your converter's attached "Read-Me" text file or go up to its help menu if you aren't sure how to open your converter.
